I think colleges need to up the bar to 25 wins per season now that they play so many regular season games. Too many coaches/ programs are able to say they have so many 20 win seasons when really they could end up with @ 20-14 season record, which is not real good according to many peoples standards.

I think this team will be succesful, with Patterson down low with Stevenson and Harris.

Then out top Meeks and Liggins/Porter/Galloway.

Somewhere around 18-20 wins...

Normally I would say less...but nowadays they play so many darn games they are bound to win a couple more than this year. That said, I think 25 would be good, and they won't win that many.

 

You are exactly right! Winning 20 games now isnt what it used to be!:thumb:

They do not play as many games as you portray. I would say the average team plays 30 games pre-conference tournament. A team at 20-14 will most likely be in the Final 4.

26 wins

I am going to say 17-19, with a better non-conference record, but worse SEC record.

 

Starting lineup probably will be something like this.

 

Patterson

Stevenson

Harris

Meeks

Jasper

 

Miller

Liggins

Coury

Porter

Stewart

Carter

 

That team is not going to go 12-4 in the SEC IMO.

 

Thought Jasper left??

I don't see how Kentucky can win 22-26 games like some have said with the loss of Bradley, Crawford, and Jasper if he has indeed left. The SEC has gotten better than it was last season. Florida should be much better, and so should most of the other solid teams. I see them winning 17-19 games at best, and having another season like the past one. They have lost to much to make a big run in the tournament like some have said.

Over 20.

That is sort of how I feel. The PG position is a huge question mark.

 

These were my comments from this thread a few months ago... I have the same concerns.

 

Starting backcourt is gone.

Meeks and Patterson coming off injuries.

Will Stevenson gain strength on the interior?

Will Liggins be at UK next season?

Only scorer from this year's team, returning, is Patterson.

I agree.

I said under...just too many variables as of right now.

Crawford and Bradley no doubt is a huge hit, but they still have Meeks and possibly Liggins/ Galloway.

Meeks and Patterson have repotedly made huge strides in thier recoveries and are way ahead of schedule.

Stevenson ended the season fine, and can only get better.

Liggins is a ?

And Meeks was a scorer until he was injured. Stevenson, Harris, and Stewart will chip in nicely.
